Arrived safe and sound in Melbourne yesterday; spent a sunny afternoon in the neighbourhood we are staying - St Kilda - down by the seafront. And had a lazy night in the hotel watching dvds on the massive widescreen tv that we have in our lovely room!!
Today the weather is awful; really cold & wet. It's been raining hard all day but then it is winter I guess! We were spoiled by the weather in Sydney! So having a bit of a mooch around the city today, but hard to enjoy it too much in the cold & rain!
Hotel is a funky art-deco place with big colourful art on the walls - recommended by Richard & Amelia - and not too expensive! Public transport is mainly by Tram which is different! Off to take a look at the MCG stadium (Melboune Cricket Ground) now...
Credit is running low in internet cafe, so better sign off!
More later - love to all -

Bugger!
Hi Dave and Ginnie! Arrived in Brisbane last night and met up with mum... and discovered about this website!! Little did I know just hours earlier we were in the same city without knowing! Yes, I was in melbourne!! Was there with my girlfriend Bianca, visiting before coming up to Brisbane for Graduation. What a bugger! Oh well, look forward to possibly seeing you in nz. Hope you are enjoying melbourne, certainly is a different city that one! Looks to have been a great trip for you both so far! much love Sam
